I wondered if anyone can help with any advice.
My good friend is over 8 months pregnant. This was a planned pregnancy but I think she's suffering with perinatal depression. Despite her bump she's not bought it up in conversation at all and when I have tried to mention it, she gets very upset & changes the subject.
I obviously don't want to upset her. She seems like she's in denial and her partner is not around much. She doesn't seem to have any bond with her baby.
Has anyone had this experience? I think she's getting some support from her doctors (and is on medication) but I don't know how I should behave around her. Has anyone been through this themselves? Can anyone give me any advice about how I can support her and help her come to terms with the fact she's going to be a mother?
